Tech pioneer who accelerated internet speeds receives prestigious IEEE Medal
Briefly

Henry Samueli received a lifetime achievement award for his pivotal role in developing broadband technology, which has fundamentally shaped modern communications. As co-founder of Broadcom, Samueli's innovations in analog and mixed-signal communication systems have made significant impacts on product accessibility. In a discussion post-award, he reflected on the rapid pace of technological advancement, drawing on the principles of Moore's Law, while acknowledging the unpredictability of future trends in artificial intelligence. His recognition by the IEEE underscores the profound influence of his contributions.
"Fasten your seat belts because the world is changing at a pace now that we have never seen before," said Samueli during the award ceremony, emphasizing the rapid advancements in technology.
"When I finished my college career and was entering the engineering profession as a researcher in semiconductors and communications, we had so-called Moore's Law... every two years, the capability of chips would double."
Samueli's vision and technological innovations spurred the development of communications products used by nearly every person, according to IEEE's CEO, Kathleen Kramer.
The formal award celebrates Samueli's "advances in developing and commercializing analog and mixed-signal communications systems circuits," marking his significant contributions to the tech industry.
